Chapter 214: Wisp of Light

Alex then proceeded to tell her what had happened. When it reached the part where Alex had burned the horn, Alice's anger flared.

"You did what!?"

"As I said, sent my fire toward the horn."

"No wonder the Naidon doesn't want to mate. Now I get it.

Alex, you know you just killed my people's hope to stay holed up in that realm. It seems my choice was correct after all," Alice replied.

With what Alex did, it was only a matter of time before the last two Naidon went extinct.

"I don't get what you mean? How is it related?"

Alice then explained the reason.

Naidon can freely move between the secret realm and the planet; she doesn't know how they can just do that.

This allow Naidon needs to eat outside the realm. Bring resource from outside.

Naidon can eat everything; they eat meat but only from those that become corpses. Plants, even some minerals like crystal or iron, are part of their palate.

All of this will then be processed and filtered turning it into pure energy.

The leftover will then be excreted by Naidon as Aetheric essence. They each have a special spot to do this.

For example, the oasis that Alex found.

Hearing this, Alex's face turned pale. 'The hell, am I drinking their urine?' he cursed in his mind as he said to Alice, "I get it, no need to continue the story. So, basically, the Naidon also uses the horn to mate, and now he cannot have kids?"

"Yes," Alice replied.

'Fuck!' Alex cursed, while he ask, "Does Naidon have any weaknesses?"

Now he was sure the Naidon will hunt him down, if he know he was still alive.

"Don't even think about it. If you meet one, escape; I need him alive."

Alex sighed.

Outside, Emily, seeing Alex's pale expression, asked, "Is there any problem, brother?" seaʀᴄh thё NôᴠeFire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

"No, never mind," Alex replied.

He swore he would never let Emily and others find out about this. He could already imagine their reactions.

While thinking about this, Zold's voice reverberated in their minds. He was moving in front of them using his abilities. Since the area was only sand, and they could see a distance away, they were not afraid of getting ambushed.

"I have reached the edge, I think I can see the place Emily was talking about," Zold said, as he now stood at the end of the desert, using binoculars to see everything more clearly.

The same labyrinth appeared before his eyes, but now, with the height, he could see where they needed to go. There were a few landmark areas, but Zold didn't feel interested in exploring them.

Capture the monster Emily wants, finish the dungeon, then take a rest and do another training session.

Despite his cold expression, everything that happened still left a deep mark on his heart. It gave him a reality check on how weak he was.

It didn't take long for Alex and the others to reach his location.

"Let's go," Alex said. He also didn't want to waste any time.

Knowing where to go, they jumped down and quickly navigated through the labyrinth.

"Finally, we have arrived here," Emily said with an excited tone. But she didn't move toward the arena.

The arena is like a side quest, where they can enter and challenge a random sub-boss. But this is not Emily's target; she remembers the last time she found the secret entrance with other hunters.

Unfortunately, the enemy was too strong, so they decided to retreat.

The arena is a big circular slab of rock placed on the ground, not that large, around the size of a badminton field.

What makes this landmark special is that it is surrounded by eight large slabs of rock, towering high, creating pillars holding another large slab of rock.

The rocks were carved with some patterns, but it's something Alex doesn't recognize. Based on Vesa's analysis, the patterns work like an array that is linked with the dungeon.

Emily walked around the arena without taking a step inside it. She knew if she put even a single step inside, the mini-boss would be summoned.

Her goal was an entrance to another cavern system hidden just near the area.

Alex and the others followed her; at first, the cavern looked normal, but as they kept going deeper, the surrounding rock started changing into a crystal-like material, piquing Alex's interest.

He started carving some parts of it for future research. Based on a basic analysis, Alex found the material was similar to a normal silicon crystal on his planet, but he doubted it was that simple.

Moving deeper, they reached a large open area.

"I never knew there was a place like this. How did you find it, Emily?" Quartz asked.

"Shh…" Emily raised her finger to her lips, gesturing to stay silent, then pointed at a few clumps of big crystals protruding from the ground.

The next words she said with her implant, 'That rock doesn't do anything, but if you get close, a light will suddenly appear from the ceiling. The crystals will then interact, turning them into a golem.'

'A light-powered golem, no wonder you want them. But Emily, are you sure they are monsters? Not some kind of mechanism?'

'I am sure it's a monster. You will see,' Emily replied, then started making her move.

As she walked closer to the golem, as she said, a light appeared from the ceiling; it was bright like the sun, giving a dazzling light, making everyone close their eyes, except for Alex.

'Sis' instinct is right, it's a monster, but it's not the golem,' Alex said in his mind.

The light itself was the monster, a wisp of light. Alex dashed forward before the monster could do anything, and he went for the attack first.

Since the monster didn't have anybody, he imbued his fist with mana and qi.

BAM!

He hit the sphere of light, creating a crack in its body, and then, without wasting time, he put it inside the awe cube.

The moment he finished, what was left was just Alex looking at another tunnel that could bring him deeper into the area.
